Who here remembers good old MadROM?
I think it died a few years back but in its prime, it was an awesome MUD.
One of the few who (I believe) managed to successful balance a multi-race MUD in a realistic way. Yeah that's right, they managed to vaguely balance a game with dragons AND pixies.

MadROM has a complicated history. It died, yes, but has since been restored and added to. It's active as of right now. Unfortunately, few people now play (due to WoW and the whole dead for a while thing) but I encourage people to visit so it might build up its player base again.

While it was true that Diablo II consumed my time then, and Diablo III sometimes consumes my time now, and Unicornluv consumes most of my time, my *precious* MadROM has returned to me now!

In a day and age where 1GB fits in a space smaller than your tiniest fingernail, the world has *really* changed. Gone now are the worries of keeping MadROM's disk usage under 32MB and running one instance at a time. We can now run several instances of MadROM in a VM and it's SUPER cheap!!! So costs are down 10x, speed is up 10x, storage is up 100x, and Madman's income is up 10x as well! Alas that makes MadROM almost trivial to run! TCP/IP in 20 years still hasn't changed! HAHAHAHAHA So Behold!
